Preparing for WordPress MU 2.7… after the holidays, it seems…
December 22nd, 2008 by Dan YorkIf you use the WordPress MU admin dashboard, it’s rather hard to miss the fact that WordPress version 2.7 is out given that you are warned prominently about updating:
Except, of course, that you can’t update to WordPress MU 2.7.
As discussed in this forum thread, the migration of features from the WordPress code base into the WordPress MU code base takes some time. Yesterday lead developer Donncha stated very clearly that WPMU 2.7 will probably not be out before the end of the year due to his own schedule.
Personally, that’s okay with me. I’d rather be sure that the WordPress MU code is rock-solid and stable before I deploy it on this site. I’m looking forward to WordPress MU 2.7 primarily for some of the “automatic update” features to make it easier to update plugins (as well as the main code base). The “sticky” feature to make some posts appear at the top is also of interest. Perhaps the best description of what is in WordPress 2.7 is this one on the main WordPress blog (look, also, at the range of links later in the article to other articles). This WordPress Codex page on version 2.7 also has more technical details.
We’ll see how it goes once Donncha has a chance to build a new release. Meanwhile, I’ve upgraded the Voice of VOIPSA blog as it is a standalone WordPress installation so that I can get used to the new interface in preparation for the move here.
Stay tuned…
